maybe we should add Grunge (early) since there early stuff was Grunge. 81.96.254.143 (talk) 09:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Their song Shade was used as the Japanese intro of the PS game Omega Boost. Someone better add that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.173.240 (talk) 13:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Would Feeder be considered a One-hit wonder for the song "High"? Rad Racer 04:43, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Rad Racer you're skating on thin ice my friend. you must rmember that this band is not an American-based one. It's fandom lies truly in the Uk, which is where alot of their material is released, litle of it reaches the states' market. Buck Rogers charted at number five in the UK for about three weeks, as has the more recent Tumble and fall. however a real wonder is how the song Seven Days in the Sun stayed at number one in the Souh African charts and the UAE charts for more than 20 weeks. Can you also not forget the unforgetable Just a Day? Surely one of the most famous songs in the band's history (charting only number five in the christmas charts in the uk). Feeder as a band have been working together for almost ten years but the hisory stretches back way firther than that. High was released many years ago now but again their poularity is rising. You may not have heard the end of them yet.
A gigography? That's going too far, IMO. I've searched through many famous bands (bigger, I must say, than Feeder, almost more notable live) and none of them contain gigographies. That kind of information is Fan Site only. I'm going to be putting up the two gigographies for vfd, as I can Wiki filling up with these things if it becomes a trend.
Just A Day didn't actually reach the UK Top 10, though it is Feeder's biggest selling single; it was in the chart for a long time and during the busiest period for CD sales (just before Christmas). Feeder have returned to the US on a number of occasions, they played well over 100 dates there in 1998, though tours since have been a lot smaller. I know Insomnia got some airplay in the US but there were a lot of problems with Elektra releasing the YWTS album at the time and it just got delayed and delayed until Feeder had already started work on the follow-up, Echo Park. Elektra now decided they wanted to forget about YWTS and release Echo Park instead. In the end YWTS was released with little or no promotion and ended the contractual obligation (2 albums) Feeder had with them. Although I heard Seven Days in the Sun reached no.2 in the UAE, I'm not sure if this was just a playlist chart, and I seriously doubt it was number 1 for 20 weeks. Alex H. --TheAlex 17:22, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Just a Day reached no. 13 in the UK charts though it is Feeders biggest selling single even though Buck Rogers reached no.2 (more releases / sales around Christmas explains the difference in chart position). Seven Days in the Sun did reach no. 1 in the UAE, although I couldn't tell you how long for.
"High" made #24 on the US Modern rock chart and stayed there for 16 weeks, it also made #36 on the Mainstream Rock and "Cement" made something like #31 or #36 on the Mainstream as well, so they have like two US hits as it wasn't like "Cement" came after "High" :), but "High" is what Feeder are known for in the US.
"Buck Rogers" made #1 in South Africa on their national chart based on airplay audience figures over the week, not too sure about the UAE weeks at #1 for 7DITS but the track "Comfort In Sound" definetly made #8 for a week over there.
I believe an EP was left off of the discography, the "Yesterday Went to Soon EP." It's only three tracks long, but contains the notable "Tomorrow Shine." Just thought I'd bring it to attention. Cody W.
to be honest im like a majour feeder fan and i think that all there songs are amazing but i sware to giod they did release just a day in the charts!
Just A Day reached #12 in the UK charts in it's opening week, not #13. FYI :) - slak —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.129.210.61 (talk) 08:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Have now added references to the existing article, I think there are far too many from the everyhit.com searchable database, so might tidy up later. Annon- 10th December 2006.
Have now tidied up the references as mentioned above. If any of you guys like to clean up the article, then please feel free to do so :-). Annon- 10th December 2006.
Call me picky, but I believe that simply a sentence about Jon Lee's suicide wasn't enough. It was a pivotal moment in Feeders history and played a part in inspiring the sound in Comfort In Sound, therefore I feel its imperative to inform readers about this. I included a section from the main Jon Lee article, if thats ok.
I'm sorry if that crosses the Neutral line :P

No worries, I've just deleted the text you entered that already appears in the article itself, and kept the link to the article.
Marcus_Bowen 18:22, 30th January 2007
I've just ammended the "Studio Albums" section, so it don't look too clustered up with chart positions, and also has a better feel and presentation to it :). I will do the same for "Other Releases" also :).
EDIT:- Have now added a table for the singles. It's now easier to read and not clustered up with crufty style, and I've only included the charts that matter. If I get the complete UK Airplay top 100 history, I will add this into the table also :).
EDIT 2:- I have added the chart positions for the top 100 airplay chart that I know. The ones I'm sure that have got into the chart, but do not know the positions I have marked with a query.

Hi, Just realised the article is rated with a "B", how would be go about making it the highest possible? Marcus Bowen 27th February 19:15
Thanks for your help! :), I've just submitted the article for a peer review! :D.
Marcus Bowen 18:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I have now cleaned up the article, and added retrieval dales for the references. I've also put some information into a list and linked to other Wikipedia articles within the article only once. The references that are missing will be added in due course.
Sorry I didn't sign in for the edits originally :).

All I'd say is to try and merge some of the paragraphs together- some of them are only about a sentence long and would look better together. Nice one Marcus! Hyperspacey 10:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I am currently using citeweb to clean up the references into a much more concise presentation format. By the end of next week they should be ready. I will then consider nominating the article for "Good" status, but only after hearing suggestions from fellow Wikipedians.

After acting on the feedback on the recent peer review, I have given the article a complete rewrite with the possiblity of adding more images into the article.
I still have saved on my computer the wiki markup code of the original version, and so will still have it just in case it's a better idea to revert back to the original text and just clean that up instead.
Marcus Bowen 18:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I have replaced the original copyrighted image with one of my own. It's the best one I got of the official line up all together.
I'd rather prefer the original one there, but it's been flagged up by another Wikipedian that it might not be of fair use, and I have replaced it as a result, and after all rules are rules and I appreciate the reasons why it was flagged up :-).
Marcus Bowen 12:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Youtube as an inline citation? That's copyright violation, and needs to be ridden of ASAP. LuciferMorgan 23:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The article needs better flow throughout, removing POV statements "hit" "success" and the images need fair use rationales. Goodluck, if you disagree with this review feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Good article review to get other reviewers opinions, but this process takes longer then waiting for a review :S.

There are still a few issues with this article, but it has come a long way. In my opinion, it would be GA-ready with a copyedit and more citations. The "current live insturmentation" section needs a rethink-not crucial to an understanding of the band. I'm putting it on hold, but I will work on it along with the main editors in order to get it to GA. ErleGrey 17:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Are Feeder still with Echo? I don't think they are and that they were looking for a new deal. can someone cite this?
I noticed that "definitely" is mispelled "definetly" in the title for reference footnote 49. I don't seem to be able to edit this section. Anyone know how?
This is a reminder to myself. I may upload it later.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 08:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
In reaction to the recent peer review, I have re-written the article, and am slowly working on adding references to the article.
I am taking the process one step at a time, and will after adequately referencing my sources (I will get a fellow Wikipedian to have a look over once that's done), find a series of free images to accomodate the article. After that I will get the aritcle looked over by the same wikipedia, and then submitt another peer review before nominating it for a good article. From here I will then consider FA status depending on the outcome of the good article nomination Marcus Bowen 22:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Two comments: 1.) Is there no criticism of this band? If there is, it has to be included, with sources. If not, great. 2.) Image:Feeder Reading 2002 BBC website.jpg and Image:Reading 2006.JPG should be removed and deleted per WP:NFCC#1. A free equivalent of them playing is already present in the article. If they're there for another purpose, then let me know. Other than this, it's an excellent article. --Boricuæddie 20:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't think criticism by a single magazine justifies its own section. NME are generally biased against those who aren't helping it shift sales of its crappy magazine, basically if you aren't indie or the flavour of the month, you're crap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.15.11 (talk) 11:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

What's the evidence for this? "With the lead single "Buck Rogers" from their 2001 album Echo Park, Feeder entered the mainstream" Okay I admit they weren't that popular after polythene but they were very well known. 87.194.134.71 (talk) 03:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I keep attempting to correct the first sentence and someone keeps changing it back. It should read, "Feeder is...," not "Feeder are...". I am going to change it back in the hopes that whoever is changing it will leave it in its corrected form. If there is any question, please check out today's featured article, "Pearl Jam," which also reads, "Pearl Jam is..." in a correct phrasing. Thank you--Startstop123 (talk) 13:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I now understand the grammer used thanks to Bornfury's comment. Thank you. I did make other edits that you reverted that had nothing to do with the differences between American English and British English. Instead of going back and revising the entire article again, can you retain some of the good grammatical/sentence changes that were made?--Startstop123 (talk) 14:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

Where is this actually cited? Someone wrote this on the Wiki, but I've browsed many places and cannot see it anywhere. - Wick (talk) 17:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Nobody seems to have remembered that Feeder were given a tonne of exposure after being featured in Gran Turismo 3, the game was the second best selling thing on PS2, and it featured two of their best known songs: Buck Rogers and Just a Day. It has long been argued that this exposure was what made them successful back in 2001. Should this not be added somewhere? - Emu76 (talk) 21:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

People keep changing the article to say that Karl Brazil is a permanent member of Feeder. He is not. He is a session player who works with Feeder a lot, but he is not a member of the band. I believe he was briefly credited as a member back in 2010 for the Renegades side project only. If you believe that he is a permanent member, please add a recent source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Literatesalmon (talk • contribs) 14:04, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
